Fun at the Kitchen Table...

Who says girls don't like games! Getting together with friends always seems to be an organized engagement at our house. Everyone knows my reputation now for usually wanting to plan time together around some sort of activity. Boardgame Night is always a popular avenue for me. We most recently brought out a game called Apples to Apples with always is good for some laughter and mirth. Enjoy! Oh, and has for me and the picture of the girls and the game? What can I say? It's a Dog's Life. : )

Danica Patrick at the St. Pete Grand Prix

The life of a race car driver is never done, I guess. Here are some photos I shot of Danica Patrick and her wickedly cool car at the 2009 St. Petersburg Grand Prix. I'll get some photos of the race up later.

It's all about the art of the deal....

It was boardgame night again, Saturday night... and this time up is one of my favorite games... called "I'm the Boss." The game is all about negotiation and it is very frentic and a blast to play. Joe managed to accumulate $34M to Yoana's 31M to eke out his very first victory playing the game. Quite the wheeler dealer, Joe is. Congrats!

Congrats to Ramona and Frank!

Congratulations to Ramona and Frank who got married just this past Saturday. And I am going to say score one for our occasional "boardgame night" get-togethers that we have had over the past couple of years. We usually get a small group of people together, hang out, have some spiffy appetizers and then settle down to a boardgame or two for the evening. The cast sometimes changes but the fun does not. While Frank and Ramona certainly knew each other prior to coming to our little soirees... they certainly got to know each other much better by having a very interactive way to get to hang out without any of the pressure associated with first dates. With the right boardgames, it is a tremendous social activity and endeavor. Some of my favorite games show up on this very page. Now we'll maybe see if have a second future couple can go down this path? Congrats Frank and Ramona...may you have many "boardgame nights" together!
